Medical Xpress / Q&A: Researcher provides insights into melanoma prognosis
Each year, more than 6,000 Swedes are diagnosed with melanoma. Melanoma is a form of skin cancer that, if detected late, can be fatal. Not all melanomas behave in the same way. A new doctoral thesis from Karolinska Institutet ...
Phys.org / Water molecule unlocks faster interfacial polymerization by lowering energy barrier
Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have achieved two major breakthroughs in interfacial polymerization, a key technique for preparing advanced functional materials. By integrating quantum ...
Medical Xpress / Stem cell embryo models could unlock infertility clues beyond 14-day research limit
An international team of experts in embryology and bioethics has published the first white paper on the use of embryonic models based on stem cells in the field of reproductive biology. The document, coordinated by UPF researcher ...
Phys.org / Quantum friction causes light to slow down nanoworld movements
A research team in Bochum, Germany has unexpectedly found that light can slow down movements in the nanoworld. This is due to quantum friction, a phenomenon that has been poorly understood until now. The findings are published ...
Medical Xpress / Scientists track single-dose vaccines for Andes hantavirus strain
In a study published in The Lancet, researchers at The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) report the development of new vaccines that, in animal testing, provided full protection against the deadly Andes hantavirus ...
Phys.org / A new kind of entanglement helps quantum sensors tune out noise
In a quest to build the most accurate quantum sensors in the world, scientists are constantly improving their performance, making them more precise, more stable and more reliable. But eventually, physical constraints will ...
Phys.org / Physicists introduce phase contrast to electron microscopy, delivering sharper images of our body's tiniest proteins
Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase contrast, which garnered a Nobel Prize in 1953, brought into clear view structures inside cells that had previously ...
Medical Xpress / Flu infection may weaken tuberculosis defenses by disrupting key immune pathways
New research from Imperial College London suggests that infection with the influenza virus may leave people more susceptible to tuberculosis. The findings suggest that seasonal flu vaccines could offer a potential new strategy ...
Medical Xpress / Why tiny amounts of vitamin B12 matter more as we age
Two micrograms is an almost unimaginably small amount. It weighs less than a tiny fragment of a grain of table salt. Yet adults need only around this amount of vitamin B12 each day, depending on the guideline used, to support ...
Tech Xplore / Buying a laptop may soon come with instant carbon data, thanks to new AI agents
If you shop on Google Flights, you get a quick comparison of different itineraries: One flight's carbon emissions may be average, while another's are 14% higher. But if you go shopping for a new laptop, you likely won't find ...
Phys.org / AI fast-forwards molecular simulations by 10,000-fold
A new AI model has become so good at predicting how molecules evolve over time that, in the future, it could speed up the costly and time-consuming process of testing new drugs. In the long term, this technology could facilitate ...
Tech Xplore / This specially-designed jacket pulls drinking water from thin air
Engineers at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a jacket that harvests drinking water directly from the air. The technology could benefit anyone who spends a lot of time in areas without easy access to drinking ...
